I'd hazard a guess that world champion boxers such as Canelo and Shane Mosley have a bigger punch than Mcgregor. The guy landed on Nate Diaz about a million times and couldn't knock him out. Fucking Nate Diaz He'll be lucky to land one meaningful shot never mind enough to knock Floyd down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Looks like the odds are starting to shorten on Mayweather. Shite. 2/7 is the best price just now which is still massive but I was hoping for a bit higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just refer to kell brook vs ggg to counter his stupid argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Please, this is getting silly. Equating Diaz to either of Brook or GGG. Stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'd assume that your average boxer will have a more powerful punch and better punch resistance than a MMA fighter, one concentrates on punches most of the time, the other has to split his time between kicks,punches and grappling.

Gaz Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Genuinely no idea what the managers have decided is going to happen in this fight so I'm going to go with my tried-and-tested tipster: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the questionable "we always bet on black" tag line which will likely get them nothing but bad publicity and a fine for its racial connotations.

All these people making out that as soon as Conor lands its all over. I can think of once (Aldo) where he has knocked someone out with one punch and i can think of at least a good few times where floyd has been wobbled by a big puncher and then went on to completely dominate the fight.

An awful lot of them honestly and sincerely do believe it. A punchers chance is all he's got, his punchers chance will be considerably smaller than most of Money' opponents due to his lack of boxing craft.

Dominique Malonga Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 All jokes aside, people don't genuinely believe McGregor will win this fight do they? Most folk/mates I've spoken to think he'll win. "If he catches him with that left" "Connors an animal" etc I was speaking to a boy outside the pub the other week that looked me in the eye and said "if Conor is getting beat he'll just give him a head kick" Tbf it's mostly McGregor fan boys that think he'll win.

Pretty much this. A few of my mates like UFC and not really boxing and they honestly think that McGregor could beat Mayweather. Basically they think McGregor punches harder than anyone Mayweather has fought and now he's 40 his defence won't be as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to my mates to watch it on Saturday and he's a big UFC fan but he's not as ridiculous as some of my other mates, boys who watched McGregor v Aldo and think they're combat experts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
